Corinna

I think Corinna is a beautiful name. It is strong, feminine, elegant and classy.

This is a very beautiful name.

It's very pretty. I'd assume a Corinna had money.

Gorgeous name. Just gorgeous.

Now the beautiful name Corona is unusable. We now have another beautiful name that is better!
I like the pronunciation cor-EE-nah.

Certainly isn't very common, but still very pretty.

My name is also Corinna. I love my name. I was named after my aunt. It is her middle name. My first and first middle names are Corinna Jeanette. For as long as I can remember my name has always been pronounced COR-EE-NA. I do not like the CO-RINN-A pronunciation. I don't mind it for others who share my name, but I prefer my name to be pronounced as the former. My aunt also pronounces her middle name the same way. When I was in high school, there was this older janitor who would sing the song, "Corina, Corina" every time he saw me. I never minded it; it always made me smile and feel kind of special. Now, at 36 years old, it's a sweet memory. My nickname growing up was Teenee Reenee (I am only 4'11") and I chose to call myself Cori for a time in high school and still introduce myself that way from time to time. I do not understand it, however, as my name is always misspelled. Even if I spell my name in all caps in a gigantic size font, it will be misspelled. I have always received compliments on my name, also, which is nice. When someone asks my name, I usually emphasize the COR part, because I can't stand it when someone says CUH-REE-NA. It drives me crazy. Whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter to me, it's the way I like it pronounced. That's the beauty of language; every word, every name has a beginning somewhere, but over time our words and names change and become more or less beautiful due to cultural and personal preferences. =)

A beautiful, classic and underused name. I like the CorINNA pronunciation better. Modern parents would probably use the trending name Cora as a nickname.

My name is also Corrinna, note 2 R's 2 N's, and I was named after Bob Dylan's song, which itself was based on an earlier blues song. Yes, I've heard it a million times by anyone who was into the 60's/70s music scene and yes I often rolled my eyes when I was younger in a kind of "like I haven't heard that a million times" way. But now as an adult I appreciate it more. I'm less particular about how it's pronounced as I feel both versions are in their own way accurate, if you are coming from the traditional side Co-RIN-ah is more accurate, but the modern English tongue isn't wrong to go with Co-REEN-ah. My family calls me Cor-een-ah, and gives me the nickname Rinna but I do like how Co-RIN-ah sounds, as I'm called by my co-workers.

My name is Corinna and, after a lifetime of it, I still feel irritated when people call me CorEENa -- it is CorINNa. It is almost always misspelled Corrina which is also frustrating. I was named after an orphan who'd been left on the steps of a convent in the village my mother grew up. I guess it was a romantic story because my cousin is also named Corinna. Not very imaginative sisters, our mothers. The German pronunciation is CorINNa. I understand the name is quite common in Germany where my mother was raised. I absolutely hated the name growing up; no one said it right and no one spelled it right. This hasn't changed, I am still always correcting the spelling and pretty much no longer care what people call me as long as it's polite. I get a lot of nice comments on it. I guess in the era of wanting to be unique I'd still rather be an Ann.

This is a lovely name, but only when pronounced in the LOGICAL way, which is ''ko-RI-na'', not ''ko-REE-na''. I'm not big on the latter pronunciation, as it sounds just like Carina, which is a pretty name, but not nearly as beautiful as this name in the way Europeans, Americans, Australians, and New Zealanders would naturally and spontaneously pronounce it when seeing it written down. When you adopt a name from one culture into another, you might as well adjust and adapt it to the culture it has been adopted into. It's not like it hasn't been done before. So why be pretentious and insist on some ancient original pronunciation that doesn't seem logical with the spelling to people in pretty much any country with our alphabet?

I think of the name Corinna as both feminine and beautiful.

I love the name Corinna (pronounced Cor een na, not Cor in a), although I prefer it spelled with a 'K'. I think Corinna is a very beautiful and feminine name, and if I ever have daughter, I would name her Korinna Danielle. I also like the nickname Kori, which I think is cute for a young girl. Korinna is such a formal name, it’s nice for a young girl to be able to have a nickname that is cute and not too stuffy, but still have a formal name that she can grow into. Although I like the fact that this name is not too popular, I am surprised that it’s not used more often, given how pretty it is.

Pretty name but I also don't like the nicknames for this name. I know of 3 people with this name and pronounce it ko-REEN-a. Two people I know of have the name Coryn/Corynn and pronounce it Co-rin (rhymes with tin)

Corinna is pronounced Cor-EE-na, never Cor-Inn-Ah or Cor-IE-nna. The song is also "Corina, Corina" with one 'n.' But in other versions it's spelled as 'Corinna, Corinna.' This is my sister's name and she thinks it's very pretty.

I think Corinna is a very pretty name. Pretty and poetic.

Corinna-Anne and Corinna-Athena sound pretty. Though I HATE the nicknames for this name, that includes "Cory", "Rini" and "Ina." I wish people wouldn't use nicknames for Greek, Roman, Latin or Biblical names. Common names are ok for nicknames but not for formal names.

Pretty and classically mysterious. I don't care what they say it has a nice meaning.

Corinna is the name of an annoying song. If I were to name a child that I'd caution myself not to due to the teasing of the song they'd say 'I am sending you now cause they love you' so it could mean the name of a hussy!

There was a song (in the 60's I think) called 'Corina Corina.' It's spelled only with one 'n' though but pronounced the same. Well, to me Corinna (or Corina) is the name that belongs to a beautiful, popular girl but envious, catty and just downright cold-hearted. Well, at least that's what it appears to be in my story setting anyway. You see it comes from Greek meaning 'maiden' and it possibly meant 'cold maiden' or 'ice maiden', just my opinion though.

The song is "Corinna, Corinna" with two n's.
